PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES 0~ MEETING HELD AUGUST 3, 1978

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schaumberg at 8~00 P.M.
Also present were Committee Member Tomczyk, Mayor Gottfried and Supt. Bertram.
Mayor Gottfried outlined the problems of the Fennimore Ditch to the
people present at the meeting whose property lies adjacent to the ditch,
He explained the city would need temporary easements to install the concrete invert and to create a 4 to 1 slope. He further explained
that once the project was completed the easement would be voided and the areas that had been disturbed would be reseeded. Ald. Pienkos asked
if any assessment would be made for the invert repairs and Mayor Gottfried advised that up to the present time the city has never made
any assessments although perhaps in the future it might become a
necessity.
The committee discussed a drainage problem in the area of the William Zickert property as a result of the development of Kristin Downs Sub-
division. Ald. Tomczyk advised Mr. Ray Gray of Rite Realty Company he would contact Mr. Zickert for necessary agreements which would
permit Rite Realty personnel to enter onto the property in order the
problem can be solved
Mr. Hamann, a resident of Kristin Downs Subdivision, appeared to discuss
the amount of water flowing through the road ditches around his home.
He indicated that the depth of the ditches and the amount of water passing through those ditches could create a safety hazard. He also
indicated his concern over the constant erosion that could take place. The committee reviewed with Mr. Hamann the approved drainage plan for
Kristin Downs Subdivision indicating that 90% of the storm water is designed to enter the Muskego Creek near Pioneer Drive. Mr. Hamann
felt that some of the water should have been directed in this route or perhaps storm sewer should have been required. Mr. Ray Gray, represent-
ing Rite Realty, indicated that because the lot was near the end of the storm drainage pattern large culverts and ditches were required
to handle the storm water flowage. He indicated that they would
probably sod the ditches in question to minimize any possibility of erosion.
Mr. Gray reminded the committee of a letter submitted by him several
months ago explaining his plans for Woodland Meadows. He asked that
the committee review his proposals regarding land dedication, retention area, etc.
The committee discussed the following bids received for a new highway
truck equipped with a snowplow, leveling wing and materials spreader.
Wisconsin Truck Center, Inc. (Oshkosh Truck) - $ 65,928.OO
Milwaukee Mack Sales, Inc. 63,204.OO
It was noted that although the price of the Mack Truck was slightly /owe& than that of the Oshkosh Truck the Oshkosh is a proven piece of
equipment built specifically for plowing snow. Supt. Bertram also has recommended the purchase of the Oshkosh Truck. Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend purchase of the Oshkosh Truck. Seconded by Ald. Tomczyk, motion carried.
(8 The committee discussed Mr. Carl Gratzek's drainage plans for a four lot parcel of property on Prospect Drive. It was agreed a complete drainage
‘\ plan (anti-erosion) should be submitted prior to the issuance of any
\\ building permit.
